How we research, write, review, and update every piece of content — and what we do when we get something wrong.
BioSkinRepair covers skin barrier health — a topic that sits at the intersection of cosmetic dermatology, consumer product claims, and clinical science. Readers rely on us to help them make decisions about their skin and their money. That responsibility shapes every editorial choice we make.
This page documents our standards in full: how content is sourced, who reviews it, how we handle corrections, and how our affiliate relationships work. We publish it because we believe editorial transparency is not optional for a site operating in a health and wellness category.
If you believe we have published inaccurate or misleading information, please contact us at contact@bioskinrepair.com. We take every correction request seriously.
These principles are non-negotiable. They apply to every article, review, and guide published on this site.
Every health and efficacy claim must be traceable to peer-reviewed research, published clinical guidelines, or regulatory body guidance. Writer opinion and brand-provided data are not acceptable as standalone sources for clinical claims.
Every article is reviewed by at least one licensed professional — a board-certified dermatologist, clinical esthetician, or cosmetic chemist — before going live. The reviewer's name and credentials appear on the article.
We do not accept payment, free product, or any form of compensation in exchange for editorial coverage, product inclusion, or favorable ranking. Brands have no influence over our content, scoring, or recommendations.
When we link to products we may earn a commission from, we say so clearly — at the top of the relevant section, not in fine print. Affiliate relationships do not influence which products we recommend or how we score them.
Every article is audited every 6 months. If a product formulation changes, new clinical evidence emerges, or our guidance shifts, the article is updated and the "Last Updated" date is revised accordingly.
If we publish an error — factual, clinical, or otherwise — we correct it promptly, add a visible correction notice, and do not delete or silently alter the original text. The correction is dated and explained.
We use a tiered source hierarchy. Higher-tier sources override lower-tier sources when claims conflict.
| Tier | Source Type | Used For |
|---|---|---|
| Tier 1 | Peer-reviewed clinical studies, randomised controlled trials, systematic reviews, meta-analyses (PubMed, Cochrane Library) | All clinical efficacy and safety claims |
| Tier 2 | Guidelines published by AAD, BAD, EADV, NICE, and equivalent dermatological bodies | Diagnostic criteria, treatment protocols, and clinical best practices |
| Tier 3 | Expert interviews, board-certified dermatologist or cosmetic chemist commentary | Practical application, mechanism explanations, and clinical context |
| Tier 4 | Manufacturer ingredient data, product INCI lists, brand technical documents | Formulation analysis, concentration data — never for efficacy claims in isolation |
Every error report is investigated. Here is the four-step process we follow.
We acknowledge all correction requests within 48 hours. Requests can be submitted via our contact form or by emailing contact@bioskinrepair.com.
Our editor reviews the claim against primary sources. For clinical claims, we also consult our medical reviewer. We treat anonymous reports with the same rigor as named ones.
If the error is confirmed, we update the article text and add a dated correction notice at the top of the affected section. We do not silently edit or delete the original claim.
Where the reporter provided contact details, we notify them once the correction is live. We thank contributors who help us maintain accuracy — corrections improve the resource for everyone.
BioSkinRepair participates in affiliate programs including the Amazon Associates Program and selected brand affiliate networks. When you click a product link marked with an affiliate tag and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you.
What this means in practice: Affiliate relationships influence how we link to products. They do not influence which products we recommend, how we score them, or what we write about them. A product scoring 7.0/10 does not get bumped because it pays a higher commission. A product we believe is inferior is not recommended regardless of affiliate revenue potential.
We disclose affiliate relationships inline — at the point of the product link or within the opening section of any review or buying guide that contains affiliate links. We do not bury disclosures in footers or terms pages.
What we do not do: We do not accept sponsored posts, paid product placements, brand-funded reviews, gifted product in exchange for coverage, or any arrangement where commercial payment influences editorial content. Our review scoring methodology is fixed and applied consistently regardless of brand relationship.
Skincare science and product formulations change. We operate a structured review cycle to keep all content accurate and current.
All articles are reviewed against current clinical evidence. Any change to a product's INCI list, concentration, or formulation triggers an immediate review of the relevant content — not a scheduled one.
Major new publications, meta-analyses, or guideline updates that change our understanding of an ingredient or condition trigger an out-of-cycle content review within 30 days of publication.
Every updated article carries a visible "Last Updated" date. Significant revisions — where a recommendation has changed — include a brief explanation of what changed and why at the bottom of the article.
For correction requests, sourcing questions, or editorial concerns, reach us directly. We respond to all editorial enquiries within 48 hours.
